Snap glitches when graphical settings set to "-"

This is a low priority. “Fade blocks”, “Zoom blocks”, “Afterglow blocks”, and “Stage size” all fall victim to a bug where the number can be set to “-”.
Fade blocks:


Blocks will look really weird.

Zoom blocks:


Snap will become unresponsive until the page is resized.

Afterglow blocks:


Blocks will glow forever once run.

Stage size:


Can be used to get zero as a dimension and avoid the minimum dimensions.

Taking “build your own blocks” to the extreme

Nothing interesting happens when you type “-” into dev’s new magnify option. It just crashes instantly without even refreshing the screen.
Side note: the tabs have icons now

I think you may have forgotten hide blocks?

I Really want to keep this!!! Please, devs, understand that this is not that bad!

I agree - there should definitely be a project setting for “no stage”, but I’m not quite sure how that would work out; that’s besides the point. I would love for this to be turned into a feature. :slight_smile:

+ This problem also happens with “e” by itself.

yeah, we could just call this a misfeature though so that the devs have less work.

there is presentation mode or whatever.

haha, you’ve found this already :slight_smile:

btw, you can also place the mouse-pointer over the category buttons or the Snap! logo and mouse-scroll while holding the shift-key down to directly seamlessly zoom in and out of the IDE, i.e. change its magnification, in dev, that is.

Yeah, I’ve been checking in on dev every day for about two weeks or so to see what’s changed. I’ve been particularly interested in the tutorials library; although it doesn’t seem much has changed yet.

I just look at github!

Same with ..

Good grief. I would certainly regard that one as a higher priority.

It doesn’t necessarily “crash” it - it just can’t redraw until you input a value that isn’t NaN. If you accidentally do this you can just press backspace and rewrite 100.
